CTC 15 - We're Kicking off 2015 by using some NEW Stamps and CASE-ing the Sale-a-bration Catty

Hi there!  Welcome back to CASE-ing the Catty Challenges.  The team have enjoyed a well-earned break after the busy festive season and we're back ready to share some fun challenges with you in 2015. 
 
The good news is that we are going back to WEEKLY Challenges.  Yay! and we're splitting the Design Team in two to keep the momentum going.  Over the next 4 1/2 months we will be bringing you a variety of challenges that will be taken from the Sale-a-bration and Occasions' Catalogues.
 
Today the challenge is all about NEW STAMPS.  We want you to get inspiration from a stamped project in the Sale-A-BRATION Catalogue (link on side bar) and use either a new SAB stamp, or new to you, SU stamp set in your project.

 
Here's what the Design Team came up with to inspire you to play along -
 
 
 
 
 
Guidelines -
  • Create a new project for the current challenge.
  • Mention CTC Challenges in your blog post and link back here so others can join in on the fun.  Please ensure that you link up your blog post, not your whole blog.
  • Mostly SUO (Stampin' Up! ® Only) products (retired or current) to be used in your projects for CTC Challenges.
  • Have fun and inspire others!


Please note that we have switched back to WEEKLY CHALLENGES!

If you don't have a blog or on-line gallery and you would like to enter our challenges, please email your photo to - bronaddinktivedesigns@gmail.com with a short blurb and I will post it on our entrant's blog and link it up for you.

Countdown to CTC Challenges and Meet a New Design Team Member

Hi there.  Welcome to CASE-ing the Catty Challenges.  The next challenge is now only a week away and we are getting excited about sharing projects from the SALE-A-BRATION and Occasions Catalogues. 

We are also pleased to welcome a new member to our Design Team, Helen, who will be starting next week.  Her creativity never ceases to amaze and she was a regular entrant in our challenges last year.  Be sure to check out her blog, H2 Designs.


Hi, I’m Helen (aka H or H2) & I live with my family in Victoria, Australia.  Creative pursuits of some sort have always been a part of my life.  My first endeavours with card making were way back when I was single & since then I have tried various crafts.  I discovered SU at a craft expo a few years ago & my passion for card making was re-ignited!  I enjoy the process of creating something from concept to reality & love experimenting with techniques & materials, pushing my supplies to be more versatile.  This fun hobby brings many rewards, but the best is the wonderful friendships made!
I am honoured & excited to be working with the fabulous CTC Team & look forward to CASE-ing the Catty with you.  :)

It's an Occasion to SALE-A-BRATE as CASE-ing the Catty Challenges will be Returning very Soon!

 
 

Woo hoo! CTC Challenges will recommence on the 23rd January, 2015. 

We are going back to WEEKLY challenges and look forward to sharing some great ideas with you over the next 5 months from two, brand new catalogues. Every week we will either feature a section of the Stampin' Up! ® Occasions' Catalogue, for example, Valentines, then Birthday and so on, or SALE-A-BRATION catalogue as inspiration.

So make sure you ask your Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrator how you can obtain FREE products or join SU during the most exciting time of the Stampin' Up! ® Year.

The CTC Design Team will be on the look out for some Guest Designers from our regular participants, so be sure to join us in 2015 as we CASE our way through the Catties!
 
See you soon,
